Having been a bit of a tomboy growing up, playing sports with my brother and continuing with weight lifting, running, hiking and martial arts training from teenage years into my 30s, I have had my share of injuries and down time. Managing pain and healing injuries has always been a concern and interest to me. Massage therapy’s many benefits for athletes and non-athletes alike quickly became a discipline I wanted to learn and share with others.

What makes massage and bodywork such a fascinating field is the broad range of methods and modalities out there, all aimed at supporting the body with nurturing touch, alleviating pain & stress and ultimately increasing performance of the whole being in all facets of life. When we feel good, we perform better. We are better employees, spouses, parents, artists or athletes to list a few examples.

My massage and bodywork methods and techniques come from various modalities that serve the purpose of manually aiding the muscles to restore structure and function in the quickest way possible to get fast relief. Using a combination of theories and techniques from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Tui Na, Chi Gung, NMT, Trigger Point, Sports, Medical Massage and many more allows me to give each client the best possible result for each session. Learning and implementing better methods or techniques and expanding my knowledge to serve special populations (like massage for cancer patients or the medically frail) is always something I strive for so I can better serve my community.
